The American Human: How Afraid of Hillary Clinton Is the GOP? Really Afraid.

How Afraid of Hillary Clinton Is the GOP? Really Afraid.

Hillary is not unstoppable. But the GOP is still panicked.

How worried are the GOP that Hillary Clinton can't be stopped by one of their clown-car passengers? Judging by the "throw anything that can stick" attack MO, I'd say plenty.

Here's Amanda Marcotte's takedown of Fox News' latest attempt to place Hillary at the center of a tragedy almost a year and a half after she ended her tenure as Secretary of State. But of course everything is her fault. I blame the Golden State Warriors' failure to defeat the L.A. Clippers in the playoffs on her for sure, but Fox has failed, utterly failed, to connect the dots!

Newt Gingrich piles on from his perch at CNN:

(CNN) -- Hillary Clinton's leadership as secretary of state regarding the Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram could become at least as serious an issue as her decisions surrounding the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

With a lede like that, who needs to read the rest of the article? She's guilty!

For fun, google "hillary boko haram." And remember: Firing up the Republican base brings in not a single anti-Hillary voter into the fold. They're already in the batshit crazy tent, and a rational Hillary supporter won't budge with this nonsense. Instead, it makes centrists and independents think the GOP is wacked.

My General Principles

1. Civilized societies require the rule of law.
2. Science is my preferred method for examining and understanding reality.
3. Religion is superstition.
4. An educated society is a healthy society.

6. Market economies are by their very nature capitalist.
7. Markets are not (entirely) efficient or rational and thus require regulation.
8. Don’t confuse politics with public policy.
9. Civil discourse requires rational argument, even if yelling or stomping your feet or name-calling is more fun.
10. If you consider making stuff up a viable tactic, you are disallowed from civil discourse.
11. Puritanism is America’s original sin.
12. Income redistribution is good for society, hoarding is not.
13. Everybody, from time to time, needs help.

About the American Human

The American Human is written by Calvin Ross, a retired teacher who at various points in life has been a musician, woodworker, restaurateur, narrator, English teacher in Japan, novelist, technology journalist, and private tutor to Japanese children here in the U.S.

Happily residing in the wine country of Sonoma County north of San Francisco, Calvin has lived in the Philippines, the Netherlands, and the aforementioned Japan, as well as in Chicago, Colorado, Georgia, and many different towns in California, including, of all places, the Mojave Desert.

Calvin, you may note quickly, is a liberal progressive who doesn't think being called a socialist is all that bad, especially since he sort of would like living in Denmark if it weren't so cold. He blogs because he can.
